family

My wife, Allison, and I met each other in the registration line at Asbury Theological Seminary. After a 3 year friendship, we married, and graduated together from seminary. We have been married for 10 years. Allison is my best friend, the love of my life, and my partner in Christian ministry. Together we have two children, Shellie who is 9 and William who is 7. We also have a Pug named Baxter.

My family includes my father, mother, and three sisters. My father, Doug, is a United Methodist pastor. He serves the churches in Eunice, Kinder, & Iota, Louisiana. My mother, Mona, is an elementary school teacher. My sister, Bethany, has three children and lives in Ruston, Louisiana. My sister, Sarah, is married to Joel. They have three children, and also live in Ruston, Louisiana. My sister, Erin, is married to Jonathan, and they have three children. They live in Fairhope, Alabama. Our family looks forward to our Milliron Family Reunion each year.

My wife, Allison, has a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Sculpture from Auburn University, and she has a Master of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary. While she has been effective in serving on staff at four different churches, she finds fulfillment of her calling in creating Christian art that is used in ministry. In addition to her Christian art, she paints custom designed murals, paints portraits, teaches at Painting with a Twist, makes sculptures, does faux finishing, and teaches private art lessons. You can see Allison’s art at her website at www.artbyallison.biz Allison’s other gifts include leading Bible studies & small groups, leading retreats, playing bass guitar, singing alto, playing hand bells, and writing poetry. At the Moss Bluff UMC she sings in the praise team, sings in the adult choir at Christmas and Easter, and is involved in leading adult Bible studies.

Allison grew up in Goodway, Alabama – one hour north of Mobile. Her family includes her mother and her older sister. Her mother, Jenny, is a retired school teacher and lives in Goodway, Alabama. Her sister, Vereen, is a family physician, and is married to Greg, who is an anesthesiologist. They live in Meridian, Mississippi.
